The Incredibles.

There truly is so much to be amazed with on our planet.

Honest to goodness.  From the very little to the incredibly obvious.

Start with the apparent.  Us.  As humans, we have an awful lot going for us.  Our brains are more than super computers….  with 86 billion neurons.  Each of those little neurons have between 1,000 to 10,000 synapses…..  and then ….. that results in 125 trillion synapses in the cerebral cortex alone.   That is at least 1,000 times the number of stars in our galaxy.  In other words… a freaking lot of complexity.

Our bodies match it.  Tell your thumb to move up and down.  If you are in good operating condition… it will work.  This is amazing.

We have a tendency to take this for granted… .. from time to time.  We don’t even consider how awesome it is to have the ability to walk, talk, eat, breathe and think freely… until that certain “thing” quits working.

But truly, these are phenomenal, and incredible facts.

Then there is the small…. which we rarely consider.  Iodized salt.  Toothbrushes.  Gas stations.  Electricity.  English Muffins.  The nose of a dog.  An infinite amount of the stupendous…. surrounds us.

Look at the intricacy and design of ANY small shell … and you can see all the wonder of the world.  The millions and millions of marvels.

Right there.  In the palm of your hand.  If you truly want to see it.

Yes.  If we live in awareness, it is easy to notice the miracles which are everywhere.

 

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.  —  Carl Sagan
